Saying the quiet part out loud: billionaires don't want the little people around, they want us to quietly go away and stop existing on their dime (because obviously all the dimes belong to the deserving poor, er, billionaires).
This is eliminationist rhetoric, aimed at you (and me).

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won't be needed ‘for most things'
Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed "for most things," says Bill Gates.Tom Huddleston Jr., CNBC (NBC Chicago)
The image is a three-panel comic strip titled "How TTRPGs Proliferate." The first panel, labeled "SITUATION," states, "There are 14 competing TTRPGs." The second panel shows two stick figures, one saying, "14? Ridiculous! We need to develop a Universal System that covers everyone's use cases." The third panel, labeled "SOON," reads, "SITUATION: There are 15 competing RPGs. Half are D&D 3e retroclones. The other half are GURPS. But worse." The comic humorously illustrates the paradoxical situation where efforts to create a universal system for tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) lead to an even greater proliferation of competing systems.

Look at this gorgeous 3d-printed iambic #MorseCode key! Definitely looks like you'd only want to print it with a resin printer, but with the magnets installed, I expect it would work great with a jeweler's block base.
Open source, comes with a complete BOM from McMaster, has STEP and STL as well as the original SW files. Very nice work.
I'd use longer screws and thumb nuts to lock them (I mean, for my key I did use longer screws and thumb nuts) instead of thread locker, but that's a personal choice. 😀

I wrapped up last night by baking a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Each cookie is 90 grams and I used techniques from the Levain cookie recipe. I think I forgot to add the full amount of oats (did 3 cups instead of 4?) but they turned out well. I have a few ideas for next time as well.
28 March 1935 | A French Jewish boy, Leon Ramo, was born in Paris.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 892 people murdered in gas chambers immediately after selection.

Having pulled out from parts of Kursk, Ukraine is now attacking the Russian Oblast of Belgorod, and there are indications they are holding at least parts of the settlement of Demidovka, which Russia is now bombing and trying to take back.
Russian channels claim, Ukraine has thousands of troops in Belgorod, and I would not be surprised as leaving large areas of Kursk may have freed up Ukrainian troops.
Map from Deepstatemap. Blue arrows added by me for illustrative purposes.
When Russian sources claims Ukraine has "thousands of troops", that's probably somewhere between five guys with a farm tractor and fifty soldiers with a couple of armored vehicles.
Unless Russia has changed their exaggeration scale recently.
